Good Morning Malaysia, our breakfast menu today is Pressed Rice With Peanut Sambal. This is actually a festive food and usually prepared during EID MUBARAK or EID KORBAN a festival by the Muslim celebrated in Malaysia. This dish is also a great condiment for Malaysian favorite SATAY. It is very tedious to prepare Nasi Impit, however the recent instant Nasi Impit really helps a lot. I used the instant Nasi Impit, boiled for an hour and leave it over night. This dish goes well with the peanut sauce, chicken curry and rendang.

1 pandan leaf (screwpine leaf), washed and tied in a knot

2 pieces of banana leaves

Step 1: Place rice and water in a saucepan covered. Turn heat onto high and let it come to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn heat down to low. Let rice steam in saucepan for 25 mins till water has fully evaporated.

Step 3: Using a spatula, smooth rice over baking dish

Step 5: Place a smaller square pan onto the banana leaf.

Step 6: Place weight onto the pan to help compress the rice into shape. Let rice cool and pressed for at least 2 hours.

For Instant Pressed Rice, follow the packaging instructions. The best is, if you want to have it for breakast then cooked overnight. This allow the longer cooling period and the Nasi Impit will have better texture when you cut. Make sure you pun enough water in cook a minimum 1-2 hours.
